Welcome to The List,
There’s nothing better than sitting at home and binge-watching programs. Just ask Tim McGraw he’s found a few he likes ‘Yellowstone’ ‘Succession’ and an unexpected favorite. “We’d heard about it and heard about it and put off watchin’ it – was Ted Lasso. There was so much heart to that show and so much wisdom to that show that I really fell in love with it, and certainly fell in love with Jason Sudeikis’ character. He’s just such like a likable guy.” Adding there’s nothing like sitting on a rainy day with a fireplace going, binge-watching a program.
